Nike is launching a new colorway of its Air Max 90 called ‘Medium Olive.’ The top of the new Air Max 90 ‘Medium Olive’ is made of the traditional materials of mesh, nubuck, and leather, as well as a mix of green and ‘Volt-Sequoia-White’ colors. A white midsole with a black cassette Air Max unit is matched with an ‘Olive’ rubber outsole. Each panel on the top is coated in a distinct green shade that matches the shoe's overall appearance.
When it comes to detailing, the ‘Medium Olive’ colorway opts for army green laces, a neon green Swoosh, neon green ‘Air Max’ font, and a black heel tab with green branding.
The ‘Medium Olive’ Air Max 90 will launch on the Nike website and at select retailers in the coming months.
